Detailed Description

The present disclosure will be described with reference to specific embodiments, and other advantages and effects will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein. The present application is capable of other and different embodiments, and of being practiced or being carried out in various ways. Various modifications and alterations may be made in the details of this description based on different perspectives and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application. In particular, the relative proportions and positions of the various elements in the drawings are exemplary only, and are not intended to represent the actual conditions in which the present application is practiced.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the connector assembly 1 of the present invention is disposed between the circuit substrate 21 and the signal transceiver 22 of the portable electronic device 2, and is used for providing a position compensation structure between the circuit substrate 21 and the signal transceiver 22 to ensure that the signal transceiver 22 does not generate position deviation abnormality along with the deformation of the circuit substrate 21. In the present embodiment, the circuit substrate 21 generates a first signal, and the signal transceiver 22 is used for transmitting the first signal generated by the circuit substrate 21 or receiving a second signal (for example, a second signal input by a subject other than the portable electronic device 2). The signal transceiver 22 of the present invention can be, for example, a bluetooth signal transceiver 22, but is not limited thereto, and can also be other types of wireless signal transceivers.

As shown, the connector assembly 1 of the present invention mainly includes a plate end connector 11 and a positioning end connector 12. The board-end connector 11 is used for electrically connecting the circuit board 21 of the portable electronic device 2. The positioning end connector 12 is used for electrically connecting and positioning the signal transceiver 22 of the portable electronic device 2, and the positioning end connector 12 can be butted with the board end connector 11, so that the signal transceiver 22 of the portable electronic device 2 is electrically connected with the circuit substrate 21, the signal transceiver 22 is enabled to transmit the first signal output by the circuit substrate 21, or the signal transceiver 22 is enabled to receive the second signal, and then the second signal is forwarded to the circuit substrate 21.

Referring to fig. 3 to 8, in the present invention, the positioning end connector 12 has at least one positioning end conductive terminal 121, and the board end connector 11 has at least one board end conductive terminal 111 (refer to fig. 8), wherein when the positioning end connector 12 is abutted to the board end connector 11, the positioning end conductive terminal 121 physically contacts the board end conductive terminal 111, and at least one of the positioning end conductive terminal 121 and the board end conductive terminal 111 can be deformed under stress, so as to provide a position compensation structure between the positioning end connector 12 and the board end connector 11, so as to force the positioning end connector 12 to maintain a predetermined position, and when the circuit board 21 is deformed, the signal transceiver 22 can be prevented from generating a position deviation therewith, thereby ensuring that the signal transceiver 22 fixedly connected to the positioning end connector 12 cannot generate a position deviation (i.e. the signal transceiver 22 is positioned at a designated position in the portable electronic device 2), so that the signal transceiver 22 can successfully complete the transmission operation of the first signal or complete the reception operation of the second signal.

In the embodiment, the positioning terminal connector 12 is provided with a plurality of positioning terminal conductive terminals 121, one end of each positioning terminal conductive terminal 121 is provided with a positioning terminal pad 1211 for soldering the signal transceiver 22, and the positioning terminal pads 1211 are a plurality of positioning terminal pads. As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 5, each positioning terminal pad 1211 of each positioning terminal conductive terminal 121 is distributed on a first line L1, a second line L2, a third line L3 and a fourth line L4, wherein any adjacent two of the first line L1, the second line L2, the third line L3 and the fourth line L4 are vertically intersected, that is, the adjacent first line L1 and the second line L2 are vertically intersected, the adjacent second line L2 and the third line L3 are vertically intersected, the adjacent third line L3 and the fourth line L4 are vertically intersected, and the adjacent fourth line L4 and the first line L1 are vertically intersected. The distribution of the positioning terminal pads 1211 enables the positioning terminal connector 12 to be soldered to signal transceivers 22 of different specifications (see fig. 6 and 7), so as to facilitate the subsequent soldering operation and check whether the soldering is performed.

In another embodiment, the positioning end connector 12 further has a positioning end insulator 122, wherein a signal transceiver fitting structure 1221 is formed on the positioning end insulator 122 and can be used for providing the positioning end insulator 122 to fit and position the signal transceiver 22 of the portable electronic device 2 (refer to fig. 1, fig. 3, and fig. 4). As shown in the figure, the signal transceiver mating structure 1221 of the present embodiment is, for example, a recessed structure formed on the positioning end insulator 122, and is used to embed an end of the signal transceiver 22, so as to complete the mating positioning of the signal transceiver 22.

In summary, the positioning end conductive terminal and the board end conductive terminal that can deform under stress are respectively disposed on the positioning end connector and the board end connector, so as to provide a position compensation structure between the positioning end connector and the board end connector, and prevent the signal transceiver from shifting when the circuit substrate deforms, thereby ensuring normal execution of the signal transceiving operation.

The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and utilities of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Modifications and variations can be made to the above-described embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be as set forth in the claims of the present application.
